First I looked at all the faces and saw there were all three eyes for each except for the half eyes. That was the same with the squares and nose. I knew it had to be a light nose and a square face. And then I put them all together and that’s what I got.

When I was twisting the key to open the zoo for my night shift. I herd a massive roar! I jumped, then thought oh it’s just the lions but I just realized there was a lion on the loose. I quickly ran to where we keep all the food and got a steak and threw it in the lion pen and luckily the lion jumped for the steak.

While I was guarding I kept hearing random noises I was a bit scared but I knew I had to act like I was not scared. Then I remembered I forgot to close the front gate. So when I went to close the front gate a dog ran in.

I learnt that a Democracy is when the people elect the government and the people that don’t elect the government are kids. Another type of government is Anarchy, where there is no government and no rules and it is out of hand. There is also Communism which is when the government plans and controls the economy and owns all the businesses and farms.

There is also another type of government, Dictatorship or Autocracy is ruled by one leader and who has not been elected by anyone. There is also another one Federal Government, this is a central government that shares power with the others. There is also Monarchy, which is a country that has a king or queen that rules, they don’t have a prime minister.

The second last one is a Republic, a country that doesn’t have a monarch and has a prime minister or a president. It is the opposite of a Monarchy. Then now the last one is Totalitarian State, a country that only has one political party.

In class we have been talking about different levels of Parliament, which are the Local Government, State Government and Federal Government. We also talked about Direct Representation and Indirect Representation.

Indirect Representation is a good thing because people you trust get to represent you and your ideas get to be heard.

Then our teacher told us to get into groups of 3. He then gave each group a state and a sheet with questions on it with us to answer. The state we got was Victoria. The houses names are The House Of Representatives and The Senate.
